but can we also appreciate "they fight but they're in love" this (🤩):

*i'm currently very interested in anything Mercer and/or Sao Feng related so I thought I'd ask ☺️

Ohh 💗 Fengbossa. Hm hmmm I think I have something!

They love dragons. Partly just because dragons are cool but also because Hector and Sao both see themselves as Powers (on the sea), as "sailing dragons". Oh, they love symbols. Plus, they both grew up in cultures where dragons were very present in stories and traditions (Sao - Chinese and Hector - Irish/Celtic, if I remember correctly) and, well, they love it so fucking much.

Sao loves his dragon tattoos. He's so proud of them.

Sao believes that dragons, sea dragons, exist. He wants to meet one. It's one of his biggest dreams. Gosh, it's his childhood dream. Yeah, imagine little Sao. He looks at the sea and always leaves a little gift there ("For dragons!").

They first met long before AWE. Maybe somewhere in Asia. Both are lords of Asian seas, aren't they?

They sailed on many ships but they will never forget their first ones. It's a special memory. It's about "my first, my own, my prize" and about "the first time I became a captain".

Oh. Barbossa still misses his old ship, Cobra (and his dead monkey Polly too!). Pearl? He doesn't really want her (he's just... obsessed with his loss + Pearl reminds him of Cobra + he hates Jack). And Sao gets it. Yeah, he feels Hector. They argue, they fight, but they DO feel each other. They talk a lot about the past. About Cobra, about their backgrounds, Brethren Court, their old friends, Sao's brother.

Sao is veeery interested in architecture. And he has skills <3 When he saw Shipwreck City, he cried (though whether it was from joy or sadness, no one really knows).

There was a time when Barbossa wanted to be Teague's bestie and was completely smitten with his vibes. But Teague is Teague and, huh, some mess happened. Now whenever they meet their Ed, there's always this dangerous tension.

Barbossa claims that apples are the best fruit. Sao says that oranges are superior.

Sao is a very good singer. Oh, he loves to sing while taking a bath.

Barbossa is a huge fan of theatre.
